All about new version of MCA (V3 Portal)

V3 Portal have been issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

With regard to the difference between the V2 and V3 portal, the FAQ stated that in the version 2, forms are required to be filled and uploaded in the portal while in V3 the forms are to be filled online. This enables user convenience including the ability to save a half filled form and file it later.

A business user in V3 portal would be any of the mentioned and they would access and furnish all the forms. There is no amendment in the naming or position of the business user between V2 and V3. the related category might be chosen as:

  1. Company/LLP
  2. Director/Designated Partner
  3. Manager/Secretary/Authorized Representative
  4. Officer in Default
  5. Professional
But, the “Professional User” in V3 was before termed as “Practicing Professional” in the V2 portal

In version 2, there was only a My workspace which holds the list of notices from MCA and circulars provided by them. But In version 3, there is a personalized “My Application” component that permits an individual to see all the forms filed by them to date including the status of the forms like pending for DSC upload, beneath processing, pay fees, resubmission, and others.

When the user logs in to new portal V3 then the login is from the email id while in V2 it can be done through the user id.

When the business user logs in to the MCA system then the OTP would be sent on your mobile as well as email address to ensure the authenticity of the user.

There would be no distinction in linking DSC between V2 and portal V3.
